Description

Energy has long been ignored on the homestead. Join us as we approach energy for the home and homestead in a way most people ignore: with a masterplan in mind.

You see, most people build a rocket mass heater, or start with hydroelectric or solar. Not here. Not this year. We will walk you through a typical energy assessment so that you can start with the big picture before you dive into a specific kind of energy.

While you are here, we will be doing an install or two, just like last year. This year, with the focus on energy, the project is a solar heater for the roasting camper — unless we change our mind and go with the solar water heater for the house, who knows?

All this, plus practical homesteading arts courses, an update on the Aquaponics system we installed last year, even better food (I wrangled a chef to help with that part) and small business entrepreneurship.
